I am producing a script where I have done many manipulations to a bunch of data and, I do these same manipulations to another dataset. Both data sets have the same rows, columns, and headers. I would like to be able to join the two data sets together where I place dataset A above dataset B. I wouldn't need to headers for dataset B and would instead just clump all of the data together as if they were never really separated in the first place. Is there a simply way to do this?

Thanks Andrie for pointing that out. I will make sure to look more carefully beforehand. – Tim Jun 29 '11 at 19:53

Yes. Use rbind() command.
combineddataset = rbind(dataset1, dataset2)
Hope that helps.

Is it normal for rbind to forma matrix after using it to combine 2 data.frames? – Bear Dec 13 '18 at 23:07

And for completeness, you could also use the rbind.fill function found in the plyr package.
